carrying the Legislature, and he probably
will. But should he fail it will be but
temporary, for he is never discouraged
His career is useful one, in that it
shows what an indomitable will and per-
slstent Effort can overcome. But enough
of him politically.
In personal appearance Malone is near
" all beard. lie has small bones and is
spare in flesh, weighing but tIife over
one hundred pounds. He wears nothing
but broadcloth OF the finest kind. His
trousers are pleated ct the waist like
Womsn's dress. He seldom wears 8
vest. His shirts are of the fanciest
mode and end at the throat in little
round cOrnered collar. He wears a low
shoe, with white socks, and runs about
mis- grounds in g villeinous looking big
brimmed straw nat.
He sets table TT for the gods, and to
supply it draws on nearly every section
of the civilized globe. His cellars and
bufets are stocked with the finest liquors
and wines, although he rarely touches
them himself.
Malone has beer devoting the past
month, so he says, to getteng acquainted
with his family, who have ali been away
tor many months. His family relations
are of the happiest, end it is Indeed g
treat to spend en- hour in such a home.
In addition TO Butler, who is in Washing
ton feeding ct the government crib, there
is younger son, William, and the
daughter, Otelia. Both ere re5lly
talented; William showing & strong lik-
ing for the toll snd strife OF political life.
But with mis- neighbors Malone end his
family have no relations whatever. The
intensity OF the bitter feeling towards
him can be realized wnen l tell you that
tie families 81 either side of him
81 his last defeat erected handsome
STATS end fang cut their
flags ia rejoicing. However pleasant
and agreeable Malone may be under the
cross fire Of an interview he will quickly
change if snY attempt IS made to lead him
into discussion of the late wsr. His
answer as in my case, will be more
emphatic than elegant; "Damn the war
aud yet he fought robly for the lost
cause even though to-day, SIS his neigh
bors ssy, he has proved = traitor to "the
traditions OF his people"
